It does not matter what I say I am: I am European and I am British. But it does matter how you see me. If you do not see me as a European, if you do not see me as a Brit, it does not matter what I say. Whatever I will say, I will be a Muslim. (interview, 26 July 2011)
In the 1970s newspaper advertisements from Leicester advised migrants to go elsewhere as the city was already ‘full to the brim’ after the acceptance of more than 14,000 Asian Indian refugees, more than half of the total number of people expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin: ‘In your own interests and those of your family you should accept the advice of the Uganda Settlement Board and not come to Leicester, I think they said.’ (interview, 26 July 2011). Leicester was overwhelmed by its increased population and was desperately hoping to stop more massive migration. However, by 1981 the migrant population had risen to 59,709 and by 2001 to 100,000 (Open Society Institute 2010: 32). By 2012 it is estimated that Leicester will become the first city in Britain to have a white minority (interview, 23 July 2011).
